Does this mean that JR will stop mocking the Cubbies and start in on the Pads?

Of course not - the Cubbies still have Kerry Wood.

A couple of Prior's injuries were not actually pitching-related. One time he injured his shoulder trying to leap-frog a second baseman while running the bases, and another time his elbow was hit by a line drive. Wood's injuries have all been pitching-related.

Now, if there's any way we can ship that damn goat out to San Diego....

Hmmm, I didn't see anything about "a player to be named later....."

The Tigers' bank seems far from broken, though. Once upon a time, they couldn't have envisioned being as financially competitive as they are now. Then again, once upon a time, $11.3 million also would have vaulted Cabrera to the top of anyone's payroll.
Not so anymore.
Instead of being the highest-paid Tiger in 2008, Cabrera will be the fifth-highest. Magglio Ordonez leads the way at $15 million. Gary Sheffield will make $14 million, Pudge Rodriguez $13 million and Carlos Guillen $12 million.

Welcome to the big-time, mick.

Since you've got connections, is there any way you can direct some of that cash flow towards your officiating buddies?

And, finally, isn't there some forum rule about commenting on the 2007 baseball thread in 2008?

And Canseco is supposedly gonna out Magglio Ordonez for steroids in his book now.

Canseco is a douchebag. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he's a lying douchebag. Nobody that he's named has sued him yet.

Twins are outspending the Indians this year. Wow.
